Confirming our previous report, Rogers has just added the LG Eve to their Android-based collection of phones.

The LG Eve is the LG’s first Android phone which boasts of a 3-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 7.2Mbps HSPA connectivity, a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard and ships with a free 2GB microSD as part of the package. That’s all well and good, but its main selling point is its new Social Networks Manager app which helps promote the Eve as the “ultimate smartphone for social media enthusiasts.” It’s basically an aggregate for Facebook, Twitter and Bebo, and can be likened to the MotoBlur, Sony Ericsson’s Timescape, and Palm’s Synergy app. For the full press release, you can check it out here.

The LG Eve is exclusive to Rogers and is retailing for $49.99 on a 3-yr contract, $299.99 on a 2-yr contract, and $349.99 on a single year/monthly basis. The outright purchase price is $399.99. The LG Eve is not by any means a head-turner in terms of specs or looks, but at $49.99, this is definitely a top pick for those working on a limited budget and want to hop on-board the Android bandwagon.
